Coconuts and cashews together sound like a dessert, don't they? In this case, they're joining forces for a protein packed, gluten-free energy bite that could honestly give your dessert a run for its money.
Sustainable goodness

How it does good
A commitment to building a better business
Workers deserve a fair wage. It's a simple idea, but a central one for the folks at The GFB. Foundational to their business model is a promise to work with small batches, big kitchens, and a workforce local to those kitchens. By doing that, they've been able to ensure that their good tasting food does some good for people, too. They're so committed to equity for their employees that one of their primary objectives is to be an Employer of Choice. That means always paying above living wages, keeping executive pay to less than 4x base wages for any team member, an extremely strong PTO policy, team member counseling services, and company paid health insurance. Currently 100% of their employees earn above a living wage, and their entry, hourly wage is actually 20% above the living wage.

United StatesPerfect size, texture and sweetness level. However, perhaps I’m someone who isn’t used to rice/pea proteins. The dry texture and off flavor, seemingly from the protein powder, was why I gave these three honest stars. It will be great to see what others in the Hive community think! I hope it’s just me because I really respect the mission of this brand.
